Seventeen-year-old Lauren Sanders is drowning in grief. After losing her parents and sister, she’s left alone with a pain no one understands—and a diagnosis she refuses to admit. To the outside world, she’s just a girl struggling with loss, but the voices in her mind and the shadows at the edge of her vision whisper of something far darker.
Then she finds the first note. A clue that suggests her sister’s suicide wasn’t what it seemed.
Desperate for answers, Lauren follows a chilling trail of cryptic notes, uncovering family secrets buried beneath years of silence. But with each note, more questions arise, and the lines between truth and delusion begin to blur. With the help of Aaren—a boy haunted by his own demons—Lauren pieces together fragments of a dark puzzle, but every revelation only deepens her doubts.
Some secrets are meant to stay hidden. And as Lauren inches closer to the truth, one question haunts her: Will uncovering it bring her peace, or will it destroy her in the end?

In 1950 Malaya, also the Year of the Tiger based on the Chinese zodiac calendar, a baby girl was born. In the Tan household, superstitions prevail as the grandmother, Ah Ma believed that the baby girl was subjected to the “tiger curse” and will only bring misfortune and bad luck. The baby girl must be given up for adoption.
Che’ Tah and Wahab, their neighbour who already had two children, opened their hearts and modest home to the baby, naming her Zaiton. Raised amidst the warmth of Wahab’s household, and next door to her biological family, Zaiton blossomed into a spirited and independent young soul. Despite the challenges of childhood, and the occasional whispers and taunts that made her doubt her roots, Zaiton navigated them with courage, strengthened by the support and love of her siblings, whether related by blood or chosen. After all, family is love.
Through Zaiton’s journey, The Year of the Tiger celebrates the power of love and family, offering a heartwarming tale inspired by the author’s mother. Unlike conventional adoption narratives marked by feelings of displacement and unbelonging, Zaiton’s story is one of gratitude and abundance, showcasing the richness of having not one, but two families who cherish her deeply.
“Medicine is so advanced these days. This treatment is going to work,” my father insisted, even as his doctor had just explained that the liver cancer treatment was about life extension, not a cure.
What followed was a year and a half of navigating his care while he refused to acknowledge he was dying. Family tensions surfaced that we had spent decades avoiding. Singapore’s healthcare system excelled at treatment but struggled with the human side of terminal illness. And I discovered that caregiving someone in denial is nothing like what anyone prepares you for.
This book peels back the sanitized narratives around illness and death. It looks at how terminal diagnoses can reignite unresolved trauma and force us to confront what we’ve avoided in ourselves, our families, and our cultures. For anyone who has faced loss and found themselves asking what really matters in the end.
Caught up in the distractions of our daily lives, we often forget to pause and truly see the world around us. Start With One is a celebration of the extraordinary potential within ordinary people. Through real-life stories, this book highlights the profound impact of small, meaningful acts of kindness by everyday heroes—individuals who chose to step up and make a difference, often without seeking recognition or glory.
These stories, filled with courage, resilience, and heart, remind us that heroism doesn’t require capes or headlines—it simply requires a choice. With wit and warmth, the author weaves together accounts of people who acted selflessly, showing that even small gestures can create powerful ripples of change.
This inspiring collection is not just a testament to the goodness in humanity; it’s a call to action. It invites readers to believe in their own ability to make an impact, no matter how small the act may seem. Whether you’re searching for hope or ready to be the hope, Start With One will leave you inspired to see the hero within yourself.
